PROCESS, DRIP: The UFT450 Float & Thermostatic steam trap
module can be used on small process equipment which generate
light condensate loads. F&T traps have excellent air handling
capability. These F&T trap modules can also be used in drip service
on steam mains and steam supply lines. Mounts to any universal
connector.
• Trap module can be easily removed and replaced in minutes without having to disconnect any piping
• Hardened stainless steel valves and seat
